Embodied carbon targets
Carbon targets can vary per country.
Biogenic carbon
Biogenic carbon refers to the carbon stored in materials. This is most common in bio-based materials such as timber. Biogenic carbon is stored in the production lifecycle (phase A) of the product and is emitted in the demolition phase (phase C) when these materials are incinerated and release the stored carbon.
Depending on LCA scopes, biogenic carbon can be substracted from the embodied carbon footprint. In CarbonScape we report biogenic carbon seperately.
